split stereo track to mono

Cubase
#1

Hi,

is there a fast way to split a stereo track to two mono tracks?
for fast way I mean something like “split into mono” in pro tools…one click and you are done.
currently the only way I found in C7 is to export and then import again, so bothering.

nobody?

I did not find anything in the manual. I cannot believe that such a “basic” thing is missing.

That’s it. Of course you don’t have to manually import it, since you can set up the import in the export dialog.

#4

Get Nuendo.

I’m so disappointed. Imagine this scenario. You import a project with 50-70 tracks where some of them are stereo (keyboards, OH, some fx, and so forth). At some point in the mixing you realize the it would be better to split a stereo track (where you have already spent time to clean it and so forth) to mono tracks for some reasons. It’s simply unreliable that I should re-import it.

So, are you suggesting that somebody should pay three times the cost of Cubase to get Nuendo just for this very basic function? Come on…

Is there a reason why they did not implement this basic operation in Cubase too?

#6

Whoa. That’s a lot o’complainin’.

How about checking Channel Batch Export? Have you looked at that?

Thank you for the suggestion Steve, I will take a look at it.
However, we are talking about workarounds here. The problem is still there. I am new to Cubase (I come from other DAWs), so it’s for me so unnatural to figure out another way to perform such an easy thing…

I hear you. This looks like one of the features SB uses to differentiate nuendo.
